Coq. SAR is seeking six new searchers SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
If you enjoy hiking, know a bit about navigation and have a flexible schedule, maybe you can join the Coquitlam Search and Rescue team. The group is recruiting up to six new members to assist in an average of 30 to 40 missions each year in the Tri-Cities, Burnaby and New Westminster, ranging from Pitt Lake to Indian Arm and from the Fraser River to Garibaldi Park. And while the team is looking for potential recruits to have at least a basic fitness level and some experience in the outdoors, the biggest factor is the ability to make a significant time commitment. “You could be the highest skilled rescue person in the world but if you can’t make it to the searches or training, you’re not much use,” said Coquitlam SAR spokesperson Michael Coyle, noting the group is looking for applicants from the Tri-Cities, Burnaby, New West and Vancouver. Once accepted to the team, members can expect weekly training sessions of two to three hours and a monthly full-day session. The ground-level SAR training program is 80 hours but more advanced training in first aid, rope rescue or other tracks will add to that.

Ryan Hobenshield, Linda Richardson, Andrea Kloegman, Eric Westwood and Joey Baranec say their neighbourhood trail has been ruined after the city of Port Coquitlam spread recycled asphalt on the path leading to Sun Valley Park.
PORT COQUITLAM
Residents slam city trail work Neighbours don’t want path with crushed asphalt JANIS WARREN
The Tri-CiTy News
Ground-up asphalt full of wires and debris from past roadwork projects now covers
a neighbourhood path leading to a Port Coquitlam park. And area homeowners say the cherished trail they’ve used for years to walk their kids and dogs won’t be busy again. The 330 m path runs from the north end of Fremont Street and Handley Crescent, working its way up to Patricia Avenue to Sun Valley Park at Lincoln Avenue. A blueberry
farm is on the east side while a wide, deep culvert is on the other, bordering residential backyards. Homeowners had asked the city to update the path to reduce mud and potholes, and to clear fallen tree branches. “Just a basic upkeep, with loose rocks on the ground or bark mulch,” area resident Linda Richardson said.
Last Thursday, some homeowners say city crews “dumped” a thin layer of asphalt millings along the path, a decision that has infuriated them because of the rough surface and the potential environmental impacts. But Kristen Meersman, the city’s engineering director, said the use of recycled pavement isn’t new in PoCo.
It has been used in other city trail sections, such as behind Amazon Court in Cascara Park as well as in lanes and other maintenance jobs. It allows for better drainage and, unlike gravel, doesn’t wash away, Meersman said. Instead, the material gets stronger the more it’s used. see ASPHALT ON TRAIL, page 6

EVOLVING EDUCATION
Panorama students pedal for learning Students learn better when they are in motion DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
The days of a teacher yelling “Johnny, sit still and be quiet!” appear to have gone the way of chalk and blackboard erasers as schools adopt a variety of strategies to keep students focused and attentive. Elementary school teachers are now creating more active classrooms with pedal desks, balls and kneeling pads that swivel to help fidgety kids burn off extra energy so they can focus and do their work. “Some kids can learn better when they are learning and moving at the same time,” explained Panorama Heights principal Jeremy Clarke, whose school was one of 10 in School District 43 to purchase pedal desks and other active equipment for use in classes this year. The initiative is one of several strategies SD43 schools are using to teach students selfregulation, which is recognizing feelings of anxiety, stress or restlessness and taking action to get back to a calm state for learning. Student services teacher Allison Hanson said the equipment was first seen as a way to

Grayson Tarry and Ibrahim Ali demonstrate a tandem pedal desk in their Panorama Heights elementary school. The school has purchased several desks using fundraising money after discovering they help with self regulation in the classroom. help students on the autism spectrum who were having trouble with sensory process-
ing. But teachers soon found that other kids wanted to use them, too, and, after learning
about how to redesign classrooms from self-regulation specialist Brenda Whittam-
Neary, Panorama Heights decided to buy the equipment to help meet the school’s goals.
“It helps students who are having trouble focusing get back to the ‘Green Zone,’” Hanson said. “This equipment helps students regulate their own behaviour.” Teachers are also noticing they spend less time trying to get students back on track and more time on lessons so even students who don’t use the equipment can benefit. The equipment isn’t cheap. Clarke says it can cost up to $1,000 for each piece, with fundraising dollars going to the purchase, and so far, only about half the school’s classes are equipped. The school has purchased weighted balls for kindergarten to Grade 1 students, pedal desks — either single or tandem — a strider, which students use to swing their feet, and a desk with a swivelling seat for Grade 2 and 3 classes; Grade 4 and 5 classrooms get stationary bikes. Eventually, though, Clarke would like to see the equipment in all classes, and he believes he has the evidence these strategies work. “The results so far show it’s not just benefitting one or two students, this is something that benefits all students, whether they like to use it or not because of the trickle-down effects,” Clarke said. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC
SENIORS’ HEALTH CARE
Connecting seniors in homes to health care MARIO BARTEL SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
A grassroots initiative by doctors in the Tri-Cities and New Westminster aims to improve the medical care and quality of life for seniors living in care homes. The Care by Design program assigns family physicians to regularly tend to the 14 residential care facilities in the area. They’ll also be on call for after-hours care and emergencies. The facilities are home to more than 1,400 seniors and two more homes are scheduled to open later this year, adding 400 more. And while most of those residents have their own family doctors, it’s not always easy for them to get away from their practices to visit a patient in
MARIO BARTEL PHOTO
Dr. Nick Petropolis, medical director at Queen’s Park Care Centre, helped spearhead an initiative to provide one-on-one medical care for all residents in the 14 care centres for seniors in the Tri-Cities and New Westminster. Care by Design provides 24/7 medical care to more than 1,400 residents in 14 seniors’ care homes. a care home that may be in another community, said Dr. Nick Petropolis, the medical
director at Queen’s Park Care Centre in New West. That often means care by fax, Petropolis
said, while routine medical problems sometimes have to be dealt with at hospital emergency wards, straining those facilities and stressing patients. “If they’re feeling bad, it can be addressed quickly,” said Petropolis. “We want every resident to have a doctor they can see in their home.” Achieving that has taken the better part of a year as Petropolis and Belinda Chen, the project manager of the Fraser Northwest division of Family Practice Physicians, consulted with the leadership teams at every residential care facility in the Tri-Cities and New West. They listened to the challenges the teams had providing consistent care for their residents, then a working group of physicians developed a model to address those challenges.
“We wanted 100% buy-in,” said Petropolis. “Everybody in the community should have the same level of care.” So far, the care team consists of six doctors but more are being sought. Each sets aside time in his or her schedule to make regular visits to the various homes as well as be on call after hours. When the doctors are at the homes, they’re able to visit with residents, get to know them, consult with their regular caregivers, confer with families and review medication protocols. The additional care complements the care residents receive from their own family doctors, Petropolis said. “They’re proactive visits, when there’s not a crisis.” And that additional connection can be critical to a seniors’
PRESENTED BY
quality of life. “It’s a security blanket that somebody is there for them,” he said. “When you’re a senior, you want to have seamless comfort and care.” It’s also important for families. “When a family member is moved into a care home, they’re really unsettled. So to have a physician be a constant presence gives them reassurance.” The doctors also benefit as the team shares knowledge and experiences caring for the senior residents while being minimally disruptive to their regular practice. “It allows us to design the program in a way that it works into our workflow,” Dr. Petropolis said. “Doctors need to think of what the patient deserves.”

HERITAGE ON THE MOVE
PORT COQUITLAM
Last chance to talk taxes Monday is the deadline for Port Coquitlam property owners to have their say on this year’s proposed budget. So far, the municipality has logged 300 responses on the draft financial plan, which calls for a 3.4% tax hike — or $68.23 more for the average house — over the 2015 bill. Sewer, water and garbage rates will not go up. Of the 3.4% increase, more than 2% is dedicated to pay for four new RCMP officers and to plans for updating the PoCo recreation complex. Other expenses include hiring a new cultural development and community services manager and better internal and external communications. For more details on the draft plan and to take a short survey, visit portcoquitlam.ca/budget. Alternatively, call 604-927-5280 RICHARD STEWART PHOTO
Some Coquitlam residents saw a piece of history on the move early Sunday when a crew of house movers from Nickel Bros. relocated a heritage home to save it from the wrecking ball. Hutchinson House — a 1921 wood-frame house with a gabled roof — was saved by developer Harwinder Singh Parmar, who purchased it from the Rochester Street property owner and had it transferred to his land at 320 and 326 Casey St. to be included in a 14-unit townhouse development. City council approved the Heritage Revitalization Agreement bylaw last November. Hutchinson House is one of the 33 surviving buildings of 75 listed structures in the Heritage Maillardville Building Inventory. The home is an example of a farmstead from the city’s early settlement. The Hutchinsons arrived in Maillardville in 1920 from Vancouver; the father, James, who built the home, worked as a BC Electric Railway conductor.

CRIME
Assault charge for Coquitlam woman after SkyTrain fracas Second woman ID’d but no news on more charges
A Coquitlam woman has been charged with assault after a late-night incident last September at a Vancouver SkyTrain station. According to a press release from the Transit Police, on Sept. 19, 2015, there were reports of two young women
yelling racial slurs and harassing passengers at the Granville Station. When another woman asked them to stop, she was attacked, suffering cuts, bruises, a black eye and injuries to one arm. Police issued a public appeal for information on the suspects on Nov. 30, releasing security camera pictures of them. After receiving a number of tips, last Tuesday, they arrested Sarah Dawn Sullivan, 25, of Coquitlam. She has been
charged with assault causing bodily harm and released on an undertaking with conditions. She is scheduled to next appear in Vancouver Community Court on March 9. The second woman has been identified but Transit Police would not say whether she will also be charged. Transit Police are also urging transit users who are victims of or witnesses to any problem incident to Text Code 87 77 77 or call 604-515-8300.

It’s also adaptable to weather conditions and is eco-friendly. “The use of this product is well documented and does not pose an environmental risk,” Meersman said, noting the path isn’t finished but work is expected to wrap up by next week. She said the neighbours weren’t consulted on the type of material because it was a “reactive maintenance project to address immediate and continued issues, and was not a planned improvement/upgrade project.” Area residents contend the city made the wrong move as the path is located within the floodplain and the petroleumbased product could leech into the nearby farms and watercourses. Surrounding plants and grasses could die as a result, they argue, and wildlife will be affected as heron, ducks and bears frequent the greenway. Andrea Kloegman lifted her shoes to show black tar stains. “God knows what this will smell like in the summer,” Joey Baranec said, shaking his head. Ryan Hobenshield held a bucket of wires he and neighbours said they collected from the new pathway in just five minutes. “It’s everywhere. We have kids and dogs walking this path. Now what?” They’ve already made their voices heard to PoCo Mayor Greg Moore and city councillors. “It’s terrible what they’ve done. We just want our path back,” Richardson said. jwarren@tricitynews.com @jwarrenTC

David Ennis will spend another five years in prison for murdering three generations of the same family, including Port Coquitlam grandparents Edith and George Bentley, in Wells Gray Provincial Park in 1982. Ennis waived his right to his 2014 parole hearing and has also withdrawn the application for this year’s review, which would have been held in August. His last hearing was in 2012, when Ennis was denied both day and full parole after a twomember National Parole Board panel found he had limited insight into his crimes. The board determined Ennis, who was known as David Shearing when he committed the murders, should reenrol in a high-intensity sexual offender program before he could be released, and that he needed to spend time in a minimum-security institution to establish credibility during temporary absences before he

David Ennis waived his right to his 2014 parole hearing and has also withdrawn the application for this year’s review. could be paroled. “Regardless of the gains that you have made since your incarceration, you are not a low risk for public safety,” the board wrote. And although Ennis has spent nearly 30 years behind bars and participated in several programs, his “sexual deviance in fantasy” remained, the board found, noting he does not fully understand the risk factors for his behaviour or how to manage them. In August 1982, Jackie and Bob Johnson of Westbank were camping at Wells Gray with their daughters, 13-year-old
Janet and 11-year-old Karen, and Jackie’s parents, Edith and George Bentley of PoCo, when Ennis murdered the four adults. He kept the girls hostage for several days before killing them as well, then burned all six bodies. Ennis will not be eligible for full parole again until 2021 under the new Fairness for Victims Act but, because he has passed his eligibility dates, he can apply for day parole again in about a year, according to an National Parole Board spokesperson. spayne@tricitynews.com @spayneTC

Coyle joined 16 years ago and “vividly remembers” that it was several years before he experienced his first daytime search. “It’s not all glamorous,” he joked, adding the supportive partners of SAR members are what allow the team to do its work. “They are members of the team in their own right.” Coquitlam SAR’s last recruitment drive was in 2013, when it took on a large group of new volunteers, but with retirements and people moving away, it now needs to add a handful of new members to maintain a roster of about 50. Prospective members can attend an information session on March 16 at Coquitlam city hall, where they can learn more about what’s involved in becoming a SAR volunteer, and fill out an application form (the deadline is March 31). From there, the team will select up to 20 hopefuls for a mandatory evaluation hike April 16 at Buntzen Lake.

A meeting will be held March 16 at Coquitlam city hall for people interested in volunteering with Coquitlam Search and Rescue. “You will need a minimum level of fitness to be able to participate in the activities we do,” Coyle said, including hauling equipment and stretchers on challenging hikes. The evaluation hike will also be an opportunity for SAR members to get an understanding of the applicants’ outdoor experience and their overall approach, Coyle said. “We don’t want the kind of person who’s a cowboy, somebody who wants to go off by themselves,” he said. “SAR is very much a team sport. You’ve got to work together as a group with a common goal — you don’t just strike out on your own.” The field will then be whit-
tled down even further to those who are selected for in-depth interviews; those who make the cut become members-intraining for a year. It is time-consuming, challenging and, at times, unpredictable work, but it comes with a significant pay-off, Coyle said. “It’s one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It encompasses helping people who are in obvious and desperate need of help… and you see the results quickly.” • For more information about the Coquitlam SAR application process, visit www.coquitlamsar.bc.ca.

CRIME & COURTS
PoCo pro hockey player jailed for drug-fuelled theft Prescription for injury started his addiction issues SARAH PAYNE
The Tri-CiTy News
Once a rising professional hockey player, Port Coquitlam’s Brady Leavold will be spending the next several months behind bars on a string of criminal charges. Leavold, 28, pleaded guilty to theft, possession of stolen property, resisting a peace officer and several other charges. He was sentenced in B.C. Provincial Court in Vancouver on Monday to 21 months, less time served. The right winger got his start as a 16-year-old with the Western Hockey League’s Swift Current Broncos. He played two seasons there before a 2005/’06 stint with the Burnaby Express in the BC
BRADY LEAVOLD Hockey League, then returned for three seasons back in Swift Current. From there, Leavold played for the Kelowna Rockets, the Victoria Salmon Kings, Norfolk Admirals in Virginia, the Tilburg Trappers in the Netherlands and, finally the Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees in 2011/’12. Leavold’s descent from
hockey’s pro ranks to petty crime started with a knee injury in the 2008/’09 season, for which he was prescribed the painkiller Oxycontin. The pills led to Leavold using heroin and continued his downward spiral. In February 2012, Leavold shared his substance abuse struggles with hockey broadcaster and blogger Regan Bartel three months after finishing rehab and preparing to play for the Killer Bees. “I’m just so grateful that [Bees coach] Terry Ruskowski is giving me an opportunity here,” Leavold said in the interview. But by December 2013, the demons were back, and Leavold was charged with robbery and theft of a motor vehicle. Several more charges came in the summer and fall of 2015, including several liquor store thefts.

OUR OPINION
Speak up – it’s your money P eople like to complain about having to pay higher municipal taxes but do they get involved in town hall meetings and opportunities for public consultation? For the most part, probably not, and that’s a shame. Local government is where the average person has the most opportunity to shape the public agenda and get heard. Arguably, there appears to be little wriggle room in most city budgets where contractual obligations and salaries make up a large portion of expenses. People also want their city services and seem to be willing to shell out for festivals, parks, landscaping and recreational opportunities while also hoping city bureaucrats are watching out on the crime and security side of things by making sure there are enough police and fire services to handle any serious issues.
Local politicians are also acutely aware of the importance of keeping their constituents happy and won’t pass off a property tax hike that is too unreasonable for fear of not getting re-elected. Still, taxpayers don’t have infinite resources and so is it fair to go back to them every year for more money?
CONTACT
This question of fairness is a good one, given the range of property tax increases in the works for local residential property owners. In Port Coquitlam, where the public has until March 7 to comment on the draft budget, a tax hike of 3.4% is proposed. Port Moody is considering a 5.13% tax increase
email: newsroom@tricitynews.com phone: 604-472-3030 www.tricitynews.com/opinion
(5.04% after utility rates are blended in) while Coquitlam, which already passed its budget, will charge residential taxpayers 2.64% more this year than last. The impact of these increases doesn’t seem like much — about $55 in Coquitlam, $68 in PoCo and $97 in PoMo on the average house if all budgets are passed — but over time, they add up. The best way to make sure you are paying the right amount of tax is to take a look at your city’s financial documents and decide whether increases can be justified. If not, get more involved at tax time next year. As for Port Coquitlam residents, you still have time to weigh in on the online survey at portcoquitlam.ca/budget Remember, nobody else is going to speak up for you. The cost of silence comes directly out of your bank account.

THE FUTURE OF RIVERVIEW
Treating elderly is Keeping a terrorist in just one R’view idea Canada not ‘Canadian’ The Editor, For approximately 31 years, I worked at Riverview Hospital as a registered psychologist and am very familiar with what this amazing hospital and staff provided to patients. I would like to express my thoughts on the Renewing Riverview document. First, Riverview lands and hospital need to be protected for eternity. I can’t tell you how often an upset patient was taken for a walk or to sit on the grounds as a way of de-escalating strong and overwhelming emotions. Occupational therapists and patients collected leaves as they fell to produce montages and to be used in art therapy. A walk through the grounds helped to calm the limbic system in the brain, helping teach self-regulation skills necessary to regulate
Speak up! You can comment on any story you read at www.tricitynews.com
and sooth an upset patient. Walking on the grounds with patients and having them notice aspects of nature — seeds, grasses, streams and foliage — resulted in fewer doses of medication, fewer staff injuries and more settled behavior. Second, requiring a breakeven mandate for mental health services doesn’t work if it means selling Riverview lands. With a rapidly aging population, current buildings would be a great place for the treatment of Alzheimer’s and dementia. A case in point would be Valleyview, which was constructed in 1959 with
beds for more than 300 patients. Why is it that the proposed new facilities at a cost of $175 million would result in only 17 new treatment beds? The math doesn’t add up. It is clear that market housing, highrise towers, condos, schools, rental properties have no place at Riverview. With the upcoming wave of elderly patients, particularly with advanced dementia, and other neuropsychological deficits, the short-term gain proposed for the site is just wrong, and does not care for those who are, by no fault of their own, psychiatrically ill or suffering other neurological disorders. Settling outstanding land claims with the Kwikwetlem First Nations should not be leveraged at the expense of our most vulnerable population and most precious sanctuary. Helen MacIsaac, Coquitlam
The Editor, God forbid we send convicted terrorist Zakaria Amara back to Jordan after he serves time in a Canadian jail. After all, “A Canadian is a Canadian,” so as “a matter of principle,” convicted terrorists are our fellow Canadians. I’m a little fuzzy on this aspect of Canadiana in which plotting to detonate a truck bomb in downtown Toronto,
storm Parliament Hill and behead the Prime Minister is part of our cultural identity. Immigration Minister John McCallum stated it would be egregious to strip Amara of his citizenship. Let me get this straight: Setting off a bomb that could kill dozens, if not hundreds of innocent men, women and children then beheading the leader of our country is not considered
egregious enough to get you expelled but stripping this terrorist of his citizenship, which is a privilege not a right, is inhumane and barbaric? Now I understand why Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pulling out of the fight against ISIS in the Middle East — it would be much more convenient for our troops to fight them here in our own streets. Neil Swanson, Coquitlam
THRIFTY FOODS
Save Thrifty’s on Austin The Editor, Re. “Coq. man calls for Thrifty’s to remain” (The TriCity News, Feb. 19). As a citizen of Coquitlam for 41 years, I was most pleased that we would have a Thrifty Foods at Austin Station. It had a program to deliver food to handicapped people and seniors who couldn’t get out.
I volunteered for this shopping for six and a half years and, during that time, was astounded by the efforts of Thrifty’s management to donate and support any youth sports teams, police motorcycle fundraisers, etc. and even their own staff members’ medical problems. What a bonus for any com-
munity these people have proven to be. Sadly, because of a failure in negotiations for a new lease, it has come to this: all these wonderful and gracious employees being put out of their valued jobs. Please, Coquitlam, help in any way to save Thrifty’s. Joan Graham, Coquitlam
Head to STAKE after IMAGINE for a special dinner, with part of the proceeds benefiting SHARE
WESBILD is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor for SHARE’s annual fundraiser IMAGINE. Wesbild Holdings Ltd. is a true supporter of SHARE and an advocate for the well-being of our community as a whole. In 2005, Wesbild purchased and purposerenovated a building from which SHARE delivers services to over 56,000 people each year. The Clarke Street building has been provided by Wesbild at no net cost to SHARE for the last 11 years. This extraordinary contribution allows SHARE to invest significant resources into its mission: to provide support to vulnerable individuals and families so that they have the opportunity to pursue the life they choose. “As an organization with a number of staff that live and work in the Tri-Cities, we are delighted to be able to give back through SHARE.” Says Kevin Layden, Wesbild’s President & CEO, “SHARE supports the quality of life of all families in the Tri-Cities. Building communities is the focus of our business and SHARE helps to ensure that our neighbourhoods are strong by answering social needs and creating healthy, inclusive communities.”
A THANK YOU FROM SHARE Together, Wesbild and SHARE are building strength in our Tri-Cities community. While we very much appreciate the generous financial support that Wesbild provides, we know that their commitment to building our community goes far beyond their financial gift. Members of the Wesbild family help us govern, plan and stage events, sort food and bring Christmas cheer to children and families. Thank you for being our presenting sponsor for IMAGINE once again. Your strong and steady support is greatly appreciated.

Maillardville’s Music Festival
MARCH 4,5,6 MARS MACKIN PARK COQUITLAM
Bonjour!
Welcome to the 27th annual Festival du Bois. Come join the celebration of Coquitlam’s 125th anniversary with a festival that features the history and traditions that continue to make Maillardville such a special place. Our opening night concert on March 4 brings together two amazing prairie gals, Annette Campagne and Raine Hamilton, for an evening of delight! Over the weekend of March 5 & 6, ooh la la! From New Brunswick’s Acadian music scene comes Danny Boudreau. From the Québécois Johanne Dumas, Executive tradition, we welcome Le Bruit court and Artistic Director dans la Ville and RéVeillons!, with MAZ adding a contemporary twist. We present two groups who brilliantly perform in the Fest Noz tradition of Brittany: Sonerion and Les Bretons de Québec. BC artists include Jean Pierre Makosso and the Gabriel Dubreuil Trio, with many others to see and hear from across Canada. Be sure to visit our Workshop Tent. This year, we’re offering a special series of workshops designed in conjunction with musician, ethnomusicologist, and teacher Lisa Ornstein from Le Bruit court dans la Ville. We’ll learn about the origin of some songs brought here by the settlers, how they were passed down through generations and how they were impacted by other cultures and influences. These sessions offer amazing insights, discovery and learning, and I urge you to attend at least one. Check out the Youth Zone’s activities and shows, say bonjour to the roving performers on site, shop and wander in our expanded Artisan and Community Kiosk area, shoot & score, Flaunt your Frenchness, join the Maillardville Geocache adventure, sample some delicious food and, most of all, AMUSEZ-VOUS BIEN! Looking forward to welcoming you there!

We’re Jamming
MACKIN PARK COQUITLAM
A special night of music with two extraordinary prairie songbirds. Annette Campagne is a pop-folk singer songwriter at the top of her game, with gorgeous melodies, powerful lyrics, and a sweet and soulful voice. The quintessential Canadian artist; the bilingual, straight-shooting poet of a prairie girl who has seen the world, but revels in her Saskatchewan roots. Raine Hamilton is an exciting new favourite on the Canadian folk music scene. Her true and clear voice will carry you away. Her music is rich with inventive melody, and sage and witty lyrics. This Winnipeg artist’s songs ring with courageous transformation. Fri., March 4 2016 7pm Place des Arts, 1120 Brunette Ave. Coquitlam Adults Tickets: $15 - Students & Seniors: $10 Available at www.festivaldubois.ca
If music is in your heart and you can stuff your instrument in a backpack, we invite you to join the jam session happening right by the Sugar Shack at the festival. Join others who, like you, are in a music-sharing mood – and help us make some tuneful noise for those waiting for their maple taffy!

How To Get to the Festival MAZ invites you to hop on a wild flying canoe to a world of original compositions, starting with traditional Québécois music, then traveling through the depths of modal jazz into trance-inducing modern grooves. It’s a bold assertion of francophone acoustic tradition with an electro edge and intense onstage energy. Collecting a raft of rave reviews, this tradmod union features Marc Maziade (electric guitar, banjo, foot percussion, programming), PierreOlivier Dufresne (violin, mandolin, foot percussion), Roxane Beaulieu (keyboards), and Mathieu Royer (bass)
Danny Boudreau (Danny Party)
One of New Brunswick’s biggest stars, Petit Rocher native Danny Boudreau’s 40-year career has garnered a long list of awards and accolades. This prolific Acadian singersongwriter has toured Europe, Africa, and Québec, enthralling audiences with his rich voice and well-crafted songs. He brings us his Danny Party, playing everything from folk to country, all with a touch of the traditional. Catch Danny accompanied by the magical fiddling of Justin Doucet, John Boulay (guitar), Jesse Mea (piano, accordion), Luc Roy (drums), and Sylvain Doucet (bass).
Sonerion & Les Bretons de Québec
One of the most popular traditional music scenes in western Europe is Fest Noz or Night Party music from Brittany, France. We present North America’s premiere exponents of this genre, Sonerion from Seattle, along with dance leaders Loïc Le Sellin and Marie-Chantal Fortin from Les Bretons de Québec. You can listen and you can dance! Sonerion features the propulsive melodies, powerful instrumentation, and complex arrangements that are the hallmark of fine Breton music. Dance challenged? No problem! The dances will be taught and led by Loïc and Marie-Chantal in a fun, relaxed, don’t-worry-aboutmaking-mistakes atmosphere.
If you must take your car
From Highway 1 East or West, take Coquitlam exit 40. Follow Brunette Avenue NE to King Edward Street. The Festival is on the corner of Brunette & King Edward corner in Mackin Park. Only a 30 minute drive from Vancouver!
MARCH 4,5,6
Le Bûcheron (Gilbert Parent)
http://lesbucherons.com/ Explore traditional French Canadian culture – the fun way! Le Bûcheron (the lumberjack), Gilbert Parent, plays the guitar, accordion, musical saw, spoons, and various percussive instruments as he shares the songs and stories that illuminate French Canada’s culture, history, and folklore. And you can join in too! Come dance to a tune played on a saw, learn how maple sugar was discovered, find out how to play spoons, hear stories of the adventurous voyageurs, and make small wooden men dance.
Simmered in the rich stew of Québec tradition, this quartet’s music will wake you up and feed your spirit! Playing jigs, reels, French songs and step dances, every RéVeillons! concert gathers up choice tunes from varied eras and serves them up with a heady joie de vivre. Band members are virtuoso musicians, singers, callers, and dancers: JeanFrançois Berthiaume (vocals, step dance, foot rhythms, percussion), brother David Berthiaume (voice, guimbarde, concertina), Richard Forest on fiddle, and André Gagné (guitar, banjo, vocals).
Located at 1000 Lougheed Hwy, Coquitlam. See the festival website for more details. Festival du Bois would like to thank IKEA for offering spaces in their parking lot during the festival.
MACKIN PARK COQUITLAM
We welcome back a talented BC fiddler who wowed us all in 2015. Gabriel Dubreuil is based both in Boston, where he is studying performance at the renowned Berklee College of Music, and Vancouver.

Button-accordionist/singer Normand and André were band mates in the amazing a capella trad band, Les Charbonniers de l’enfer (The Coalmen from Hell), among other collaborations.

Sand Northrup
A festival favourite, juggler, unicyclist, stilter, clown and entertainer-extraordinaire, Sand Northrup’s One Woman Circus is a wonder to behold. Whether transforming into one of her delightfully foolish characters, telling a story, or just having some silly fun – Sand is sure to charm you, delight you, and tickle your funny bone.
Tourbillon le Bouffon Bûcheron!
Marcel Lebrun created “The Great Marcello” when he was six, learned to juggle at 10 and unicycle at 16 – and considered running away to join the circus. He was destined to become a performing arts teacher instead. But after adding balloon sculpting to his repertoire, he became a professional clown. “Twister” or “Tourbillon” has been delighting festival audiences ever since.
SHE/HE SHOOTS, SHE/HE SCORES! May we introduce you to the Youth Zone, a very cool part of Festival du Bois!

Introducing Ernestine! There have been rumours and sightings over the years, but no one really believed the myth that a creature indigenous to Mackin Park, half raccoon and half beaver with a distinctive plaid tail, actually existed. But we can now positively confirm that the legend is true! May we introduce you to Ernestine. Her ancestors have lived in the Maillardville park, home to Festival du Bois, since time immemorial. While her existence has been secret and she normally avoids appearing in public (preferring to spend her days in the bushes and Thank you to Leanne Christie for spotting creek in the park), word has Ernestine and inviting her to join us. it that she’s decided to come out of hiding to be part of Coquitlam’s 125th anniversary celebrations. She loves music, and it’s even said she is a big fan of step-dancing! We expect many more Ernestine sightings this year as she joins in the fun. Be on the lookout for this very cute and cuddly creature at the festival!

Theatre Sports The Franco-Columbian Improvisation League (LIFC) is
back for another legendary improv tournament. This year, teams from six schools: Gabrielle-Roy, Jules-Verne, Anse-au-sable, Victor-Brodeur, Carihi, and Pionniers-de-Maillardville will compete in a number of hilarious improvisations. The players will have to use their imagination, talent, and sense of humour to win you, the audience, over – and garner your votes. The art of good improvisation requires players to think quickly, be creative and cooperate, and have lots of fun. Come watch these young Francophone “actors” at play, and make your choice. Which team will end up winning the oh-so-coveted LIFC trophy? The answer lies in your hands!

MESSAGE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
So as the curtain opens, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy some of the best Canadian shorts and films.
Showcasing a diverse range of topics, tones and talent, the program at this year’s Port Moody Canadian Film Festival includes an Oscar nominee and a hidden near-masterpiece, critically acclaimed films and criminally underrated ones. Densely packed and each film unique in its own right, the festival features none of the usual suspects of Canadian cinema but an announcement of new voices, another generation coming to the fore to represent our stories. Like years past, there will be live Q&A with the filmmakers after some of the films, a wrap party with complimentary food, and a chance for you to voice your opinion through the People’s Pick. Come to the movies! Come see what Canada’s outstanding filmmakers have prepared for us this year.
Mayor Mike Clay City of Port Moody
Josh Cabrita Artistic Director, Port Moody Canadian Film Festival
Welcome to the City of the Arts and the Port Moody Canadian Film Festival. We are proud to support the festival, now in its 16th year and still going strong. Thank you to the Film Society and volunteers who work tirelessly to bring us this outstanding event each year, and to the many sponsors that support the festival. And of course I want to thank you, the audience. Your continued support is key in making this festival a Port Moody tradition.

TRI-CITY HERITAGE
Anmore hall and history are in jeopardy Last week was Heritage Week and the theme was “Distinctive Places.” DIANE STRANDBERG Tri-CiTy News
D
ampness and mould are putting at risk Anmore village archives as well old newspapers and photos from the days of newspaper woman and pioneer Ma Murray. The problem has come to light as the village seeks a temporary home for village business, which has outgrown three Atco trailers purchased in 2012 when pest infestations, mould and other problems pushed the staff and council out of the village hall. Now, while the village council looks for ways to build a new permanent structure, staff and council have the more immediate issue of where to conduct day-to-day business, including storing Ma Murray memorabilia and important village documents. The original plan, approved in January, was to renovate and repair a 2006 addition, sealing it off from the old farmhouse, but water damage from winter rains and a mould problem in the archive room have put that plan in jeopardy, says mayor John McEwen. Adding to the problems faced by the village, which was incorporated in 1988, is lack of space for public council meetings because a portable at Anmore elementary school isn’t available when school is not in session. Last summer, for example, the council had to meet outdoors at a gazebo in Spirit Park. “We need some help from the federal and provincial government,” said McEwen, who said the village’s 700 taxpayers have put some funds aside in a fixed asset levy but it’s not enough to pay for a new civic building, expected to cost

Mould and flooding in Anmore village hall may jeopardize plans to save the building, which was built in 1916 as a home for B.C. newspaper legend Margaret ‘Ma’ Murray and husband George Murray. Among the artifacts are a printing press and a stained glass window. between $2 million and $3 million. The village applied for a Canada 150 grant but the application went missing during the 2015 election and, since then, the funds have been dispersed, said Juli Kolby, chief administrative officer. The village now plans to resubmit the grant application and look for other sources of funding. In the meantime, the village will determine whether the 2006 addition can be saved and used to store the archives and Ma Murray memorabilia, and possibly be used for council meetings as well. Kolby confirmed a consultant will look into short term strategies including fixing the HVAC system to heat the build-
ing so the papers can be safely stored. “I don’t have concerns we won’t be able to accommodate that within our budget,” Kolby said, “We want to be preserving those [Ma Murray memorabilia] and all the files.”
WHO’S MA MURRAY?
The village hall, with its quaint shingles, stained glass window and unusual burl newel post in the entryway, is a reminder of the early days, when homesteaders and city people came to Anmore looking for a vacation retreat and to put down roots. In 1916, when newspapering couple Margaret Lally ‘Ma’ Murray and George Matheson Murray established The Homestead, Anmore was
a newly logged area and the Imperial Oil Co. refinery had begun operating nearby. Family photos collected for a blog by grandson Dan Murray show the Murray homestead as a hobby farm with animals, including pigs, and was a headquarters for Murray family gatherings. But the couple put down roots in other B.C. communities as well, and the Murrays were synonymous with the opening up of B.C. Among the newspapers they started were the Bridge River Lillooet News and the Alaska Highway News, both still operating, and while George also got involved in politics, becoming a BC Liberal MLA, Ma Murray became a popular newspaper writer. Although
she was born in Kansas and had a limited education, she was a good businesswoman and a feisty editorialist who signed off her spicy columns with the provocative phrase “And that’s ferdamshur!” Murray was also noted for her outspoken political views, so much so that the paper was repeatedly sued. In later years, Ma Murray was honoured with the Order of Canada. She is also a respected figure in the B.C. journalism community. The BC Yukon Community Newspaper Association has named its annual awards and a Community Service Award after her. (In 2015, The Tri-City News was presented with the Ma Murray Award for a series promoting
the Mossom Creek Hatchery re-construction project.) Today, the 100 year old Anmore building where the Murrays got their start, and which had several additions over the years, is in disrepair. A recent tour showed signs of flooding in the basement, foundations sinking, the fireplace crumbling and the upstairs bedrooms damp and unwelcoming. Consideration has been given to donating the old building but it’s unlikely to survive a move given its compromised structural integrity. In January, village council approved renovating the 2006 addition and issuing and awarding a request for proposals for the design of a replacement Village Hall, with the goal of replacing the facility with a multi-purpose building that would be suitable for a range of community uses. The new replacement building would house and showcase the artifacts, which also includes a printing press located in the converted garage. As for the home itself, little remains of the original farmhouse as the hall has been updated for administrative use over the years. All that remains, in one corner next to a window, is a stack of old newspapers and some photographs recalling B.C.’s swashbuckling early days. dstrandberg@tricitynews.com @dstrandbergTC

Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers
A Good Read is a column by TriCity librarians that is published on Wednesdays. Martin Boughner works at Port Moody Public Library.
While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province. Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy. Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes. Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings. Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It s not unheard of for people to embellish

their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can t work when they re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets we all end up paying for those who cheat the system. ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud. By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates. Fraud. It cheats us all.

FESTIVAL DU BOIS
Oh là là! C’est l’heure de la fête The 27th annual fest brings a new critter for the kids: Ernestine JANIS WARREN
The Tri-CiTy News
Johanne Dumas was at the home of Coquitlam city councillor and former Olympic athlete Chris Wilson last summer when she witnessed a remarkable performance. His cousin Raine Hamilton, a bilingual folk singer from Winnipeg, was debuting her first full-length album, Past Your Past, that she has released three months earlier. “She blew me away,” Dumas remembered. “She was such a young, vibrant talent — and playing such a great violin — that I knew right away I wanted her at Festival du Bois.” On Friday, Hamilton will make her debut at the 27th annual francophone party with a performance at Place des Arts, a show that will not only open Festival du Bois but also signal the end of her West Coast “Edge of Spring” tour. Dumas said the private show that Coun. Wilson put on last July struck at the heart of Festival du Bois’ identity: a community gathering to celebrate la joie de vivre with good friends, music and fare. The weekend fete she helps to organize “is not just about the French-Canadian culture but also the neighbourhood,” said Dumas, who is the festival executive and artistic director for the 20th year. “We use the event to elevate what Maillardville’s all about in Coquitlam…. There’s still that wanting of a togetherness. I see that carrying down to other generations, too. It’s about that feeling of belonging.” While most of the musical talent is imported, there are a few local acts making the connection as well. The Maillardville-based Alouest returns to Festival du Bois to interpret songs from the Habitant, Acadian, French Métis and Cajun catalogues while Vancouver fiddler Gabriel Dubreuil — a student

Marc Maziad of Saturday night’s headline group MAZ, which is making its debut performance at Festival du Bois, said his band is on an adventure to see how music can play off identity. “We’ve always worked with the first material of our music, that is French-Canadian traditional music but we’re also interested in universal music like jazz, rock or electro,” he said. “We have opportunities to tour that bring us to communities that have certain perspectives on identities on music. It’s always a pleasure to go there and meet the people and reflect on the issues.” Maziad said MAZ enjoys the dual role of entertainer and educator. “We feel humbled by the task ahead. We have instrumental music so the journey is inside everyone… Everyone will live his own experience.” As for families, organizers have created a new experience for this year’s fest: Leanne Christie designed a critter called Ernestine — complete with a plaid tail and fiddle — who will be placed in Mackin Park for kids to discover.

Say cheese! Animal portraits There’s an owl, a raccoon and a seal named after a tennis star. And it’s clear the wild and domestic animals captured on canvas for the new Port Coquitlam art show are at their best — content with their surroundings and in their full glory, either at play or at rest. Vancouver artist Jeff Wilson, who is best known for his painting series on neon signs, proposed his animal portrait display to the city of PoCo last November. City staff, in turn, brought on PoCo resident Sarah Ronald to complement the collection, knowing she also had similar work. Wilson has 15 pieces in Up Close, which opens tomorrow (Thursday) at the Leigh Square Community Arts Village, while Ronald has around 60 works though, for the most part, on a smaller scale.

Grumpy fish by Vancouver artist Jeff Wilson. Wilson’s subjects are pets, working animals and wildlife that are based on his own photos. “I encounter the animals
in a range of settings, whether in the wild, rehabilitation centres, stable farms or museums,” he said.
Ronald, however, stuck to the outdoors. “I choose to depict wild animals as a way to appreciate them as sentient and, in some instances, draw attention to how human beings adversely impact them,” she said. For inspiration, she sourced her own pictures as well as professional printed and online images. But though Up Close was a joint effort, the artists never met. Ronald said she looks forward to getting to know her exhibit partner Thursday night. And then? “Perhaps we’ll show together again some time.” • The opening reception for Up Close is March 3 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Michael Wright Art Gallery at the Gathering Place (beside Port Coquitlam city hall).

and Mauel de Falla’s music before concluding with a Danish folk tune, in honour of Bebe’s background. The Copenhagen pianist, composer and band leader has often been compared with Oscar Peterson, Keith Jarrett and Aaron Parks. As well, he leads a jazz trio that has released four albums; a fifth
LP is scheduled to be released sometime this year. As for Hagen, she’s heading into the studio herself to record a solo album next year, concentrating on the work of Sergei Rachmanioff, one of the last Romantic composers. Overall, she’s pleased with the response of her salonstyle shows at the Evergreen
Cultural Centre, a season that has seen the likes of soprano Anne Grimm, Francois Houle on clarinet and Marcus Takizawa on viola. “It’s been good. Always good music and always love the cake.” • Tickets to Musical Mornings with Sarah Hagen and Soren Bebe on March 9 are $20/$15 through the Evergreen box office at 604927-6555 or online at evergreenculturalcentre.ca. The recitals start with coffee, tea and baked goods. jwarren@tricitynews.com
